LAM P-CHIMNEY PROTECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,743, datedSeptember 5, 1882.

Application filed July 10, 1882. (No model.)

to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanyingdrawings, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective view of my im proved lamp-chimney protectordetached; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view, showing the same in positionfor use.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

This invention relates to lamp-chimney protectors; and it consists of acollar adjustable upon the neck of a lamp-burner, and having an uprightwire carrying a wire ring adjustable upon the lamp-chimney, as will behereinafter more fully described, and particularly 2 5 pointed out inthe claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A represents a collar of brass or othersuitable metal fitting upon the neck ofa lamp-burner, B, or attachedsecurely thereto by any suitable means.

0 O is an elastic metallic wire attached to the collar A, having abendor bracket, D, near said point of attachment, and extending from thenceupwardly, as shown.

E is a ring, formed of a piece of wire, which has at one end a loop oreye, F, by which it is 5 adjustable upon the wire 0, and another loop,

G, to receive its opposite or free end H, by inserting which into theloop G the said ring is formed. It will be seen that by drawing the endH into or out of the loop G the size of ring E may be convenientlyadjusted so as to fit a chimney of any size.

.Fig. 2 of the drawings shows my invention in position. It will be seenthat by adjusting the ring E upon the chimney near its upper 5 end thewire 0 is caused to lie in contactwith said chimney for the greaterportion of its length. It thus serves partly as a hold'r for thechimney, and also to diffuse the heat of the same, thus preventing itfrom cracking in the event of its being exposed to a cold draft or forother reasons.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- Thecombination, with the collar A, having upright flexible wire 0, of theadjustable Wire ring E, having loop F fitting upon said wire (J, andloop G, in which its free end H is adjustable, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presenceof two witnesses.
